About every 1 yr. and 7 mos. Venus comes around from behind the Sun, after its superior conjunction, and moves in its orbit closer to the Earth
with each month. As it does this, Venus gets bigger and brighter and the planet's illumination angle changes. During this time earthlings can witness
the telescopic phases of this planet in the early evening sky. www.souledout.org...

This is not the case when the moon occults the planets, because there's too much difference in apparent size.

Looks like crescent
Venus to me, without any help from the moon. See the pictures of crescent Venus I posted earlier in the thread. The main difference in the video is,
it's more overexposed, but aside from that it looks pretty similar.
